Dhrumil is an award winning fashion and commercial photographer based in New York and Los Angeles areas who focuses on creating sophisticated, stylish, and elegant photos. He offers images with a character to his editorial, fashion, beauty, and advertising clients that help sell the products. The goal is for the people to fall in love with these characters being portrayed by sharing Dhrumil’s vision and passion through his photography. The images highlight the fashion but also develop a relationship between the viewer and the photo by having a strong character presence in the photographs. Recent personal projects include creating a series of photographs taken from the window seat of an airplane, which has won him an award in the Fine Arts category in the 2nd National Photo Awards held by the Government of India’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

Enrique P., Director of Sales at Joie de Vivre Hospitality

"When Dhrumil Desai approached LOCALE Magazine in 2012 as a bourgeoning photographer, he encompassed everything we were looking for - fervor, professionalism and talent. However, I did not quite expect the extraordinary level of skill he has since brought to the team. Dhrumil’s photography is anything but ordinary. His photos are intriguing and sophisticated while being evocative of fine art illustrations. He consistently conveys a distinct and original vision for each of his photo shoots, more than any other photographer with which I have ever worked. He is exceptionally inspired by each and every assignment on which we send him, which is why LOCALE Magazine recently chose him to shoot one of our covers. I am confident that Dhrumil Desai’s photographic art will one day be coveted around the world."

"As a wardrobe stylist, I have worked with Dhrumil on editorial pieces on a number of occasions within the past 6 months. It is always a pleasure to partner with him as he is a creative, organized and talented photographer who is serious about getting great shots yet allows for a relaxed set."

Paula P., Wardrobe Stylist at Dettamoda

"I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with Dhrumil Desai and his team several times. He’s fun to work with because he allows you to be free and creative. He takes all the ideas and creates a storyboard that flows together seamlessly which lays the pavement for the shoot. Each shoot has its own elaborate storyboard. When he shoots, he guides you through his detailed vision and isn’t afraid to try and test different ideas. His compassion and dedication to creating stunning images, whether it be lifestyle or high fashion, has given me four publications and counting! I’m excited to see what the future has in store. Thanks to his efforts and help!"

Andy L., Model

"Working with Dhrumil Desai was an amazing experience. I have been modeling for quit sometime and was astonished with his way of being able to interact with me on set with such a unique style and professional approach. I would have to say he is one of my favorite photographers that I have ever had the pleasure working with. Thanks for all the great pictures, Dhrumil!"

Joshua B., Model

"Working with Dhrumil was a breeze! All I had to do was show up on time. He brought the whole team (makeup artist, hairstylist, and wardrobe stylists), who were also a pleasure to work with. Dhrumil gives great direction for the facial expressions and poses that look good on camera. I couldn’t be happier with the pictures from the shoot. Thanks Dhrumil!"
